Leave your thoughts about Breaking Upwards.
| Boston PhoenixMichael C. WalshWein's debut feature is kind of a mess: he withholds and warps the emotions of the main characters till there's little sympathy to be had. But though this tactic is usually enough to derail a film, it works here... |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorYes, it's a little low-budget loopy. But that's part of its charm. Zoe Lister-Jones and Daryl Wein explore new relationship-ending methods with wry indie flare. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirThat whole meta-biographical aspect doesn't bug me much because everybody who's ever written or directed a romantic comedy is drawing on their own emotional experience; this one's just a little more obvious about it. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisLike many relationships, Breaking Upwards starts in bed and ends on the street. The journey in between, however, feels as new as anything a tiny budget and a boatload of talent could produce. |
| Time OutAaron HillisThe overall hipness is a little too forced--it’s damn funny when it could’ve been poignant. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibHappily, "Upwards" picks up immeasurably when three legit luminaries (Andrea Martin, Julie White, Peter Friedman) enter the picture as the couple's parents. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyComes knocking at the door like a wolf in sheep's clothing, draping reality in a fictional romantic comedy about a twentysomething NYC couple named Daryl and Zoe whose relationship is coming apart. |
| Entertainment InsidersJanos GerebenAs with most films about young love won and lost, Breaking Upwards comes from a place of genuine pain, honesty, and most importantly, delusion. |
| IFC.comLisa RosmanIn this plodding, plotting gimmick of a film, only Pablo Schreiber, as Zoe's loutish rebound, and the rarely seen Andrea Martin, as Zoe's oversharing mom, come off smelling like a rose. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoBreaking Upwards has its amusing and touching moments, but we're left wondering just what we're supposed to make of it all. |
